Just in case any of you don't eagerly follow me on the Twitter and so didn't see this, I want to repeat the recommendation.
This is a bit old, in news-cycle terms, but this piece, written around midnight between Tuesday and Wednesday by new Wonkette Jack Stuef, is a brilliant rant.

Alas, the debased nature of political discourse in America has left us with a populace hungry for stimulation that supports what they already believe, and incapable of perceiving evidence that their beliefs may be wrong.
I blame this on cable television. Those pundits train a dedicated cult of followers that allows them to keep their numbers up, sell books, give paid speechs, etc. No one has a vested interest in an informed citizenry.
I comfort myself with the knowledge that everyone gets exactly what they deserve. Why shouldn't the United States?
The only thing I really disagree with here is your closing paragraph. I do not think I deserve what other people ask for. I don't think you do, either.
